STIS: Question about painting kitchen cabinets. - Dano Dec 28, 08:12 9
- Are you painting over bare wood or over already painted cabinets? -- nm - Krusty Dec 28, 08:18 8
  - If they're already painted then you can likely skip the priming and just sand them down or scuff the surface so the new paint will adhere nicely. - Krusty Dec 28, 08:21
  - They are not already painted. -- nm - Dano Dec 28, 08:20 6
    - Then you should use a primer before painting the cabinets. -- nm - Krusty Dec 28, 08:22 5
      - Would a Flat Interior Paint work as a primer? -- nm - Dano Dec 28, 09:03 4
        
        are there any visible knots in the wood? if so I would get primer. -- nm - loosilu who Dec 28, 09:33
        
        probably, but if they were stained and varnished previously, you will need to sand everything down for the paint to adhere I think. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 28, 09:31 1
        
        Yes. Or you can wash it with washing soda. -- nm - loosilu who Dec 28, 09:42
        
        I'm sorry to say I don't know if it would work on cabinets. -- nm - Krusty Dec 28, 09:06

    - I wanted him after Brady. I got Cam. 😫 -- nm - Diva Dec 28, 08:24 1
      - I think it is pretty clear that Kaepernick has disappointed us all. -- nm - Spawn Dec 28, 08:34

    - I only remember one team ready to sign him. A tweet from his gf made them back off, then they were deposed. - the wrong element Dec 28, 09:12
